“Alex was involved as well and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.” It was a real pleasure to work with them. “They were really enthusiastic about Scotland.

The Pixar guys all came over and they were so inspiring and full of life. "We got to see the visuals while we were recording and it looks amazing. Sally said: “I work on a lot of post-production sound on film and television and they called up to ask if I would do a session for a film, which I was told was the latest Pixar film and was all about Scotland. The couple are delighted to have been involved in the project.

Sally, who has done voices in the Harry Potter films, Shakespeare In Love and Burke And Hare, plays Maudie, the maid who spends the entire movie chasing Merida’s triplet brothers around the castle.Īlex – who is also in the new series of BBC drama Waterloo Road – is part of the team singing a song on the Disney soundtrack recorded by his composer friend Patrick Doyle. The pair can also be heard in Brave, which premièred in Edinburgh last week and tells the story of flame-haired, feisty princess Merida. Taggart legend Alex played William Wallace’s father-in-law in Braveheart while Sally, one of Scotland’s busiest voiceover actors, provided the background cheers and comments for crowd scenes in the historic drama. And acting couple Alex Norton and wife Sally Kinghorn should know – because they are the only two stars to work on both Mel Gibson’s action blockbuster and Disney Pixar’s eagerly awaited smash hit. Even if you don't have children, I recommend this film if you've loved other Pixar's before it.Taggart star Alex Norton and wife star in two Caledonian classicsĪnimated epic Brave is the biggest movie to hit Scotland since Braveheart. Merida is a wonderful new character and the entire film looks beautiful. Brave is an entertaining, humorous, and heartfelt story that will be wonderful for kids and adults alike. Although the core plot is unconventional and unexpected, it has a fantastic heart and once again proves that Pixar can tell a story like no other. This is more than a story about fate, but a story about obligations to family and how growing up means taking responsibility and putting away childish selfishness in place of those responsibilities.
At the heart of the story is her relationship with her mother. Merida's relationship with her family feels genuine and most children will probably be able to relate. While this film may not be up there with Pixar's best, it still has a wonderful story and character interaction. Also of note is Billy Connolly, voicing Fergus, who lends his comedic chops to create a wonderful and likable character. In fact, this could be seen as an inverse, as Merida actually becomes a hero in many ways and triumphs over the males in her own age bracket. She, like her mother, is perfectly capable of handling herself, with her trusty archery skills and even tackles a few dangerous situations on her own instead of having someone there to save her. Merida is a wonderful addition to Disney's princess lineup, and unlike those others, she is no damsel in distress. There is a certain amount of magic in the environments alone, and gazing on it is a wonder. It trumps the jungles of UP and even the magical underwater world of Finding Nemo. With sweeping mountains, water, and thick and colorful forests, this is one of Pixar's best looking films to date. Using the Scottish highlands is both an inspiring choice and allows them to craft a beautiful film. Pixar always manages to create an interesting and unique tale, and this goes right up there with the best of them. I won't get into plot details, as the trailer really doesn't give a lot away in terms of what this film is really about, but suffice to say, there is plenty of fun and adventure to be had.

In an effort to change her fate and be free of her oppressive, but loving mother, she attempts to change her fate, and in the process makes a huge mistake. Brave tells the story of the aforementioned Merida, a young, Scottish princess whose life is controlled by her mother so that she can be shaped into a queen someday over the surrounding tribes. As an animated film, however, this is a fantastic and fascinating film, a treat for the summer. Granted, this isn't Pixar's best, but that's holding it up to extremely high standards. In fact, Merida alone was such an interesting and adorable character, that it was instantly on my to watch list. It had everything a great Pixar film has: a wonderful setting, fantastic CGI, beautiful and interesting characters, and a lot of heart. Brave is a film I've been looking forward to since I first laid eyes on it's beautiful trailer.
